Candlelight Tavern

Cuisine: Bar
Neighborhood: South Denver

383 S. Pearl St. Denver, CO 80209

303-778-9530

This friendly neighborhood bar is beloved by residents of all stripes in the Wash Park area. Once a seedy, smoky dive, the place has been spruced up over the years – but consistency and simplicity are key. You can count on no-frills, tasty pub grub, including a great basic bar burger. The warm glow of the Candlelight’s vintage sign still illuminates the way to one of Denver’s oldest and best bars.
